Staff Software Engineer

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help shape the direction of our technology and product. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on ownership and autonomy. You'll define problems as much as solve them, working across teams to ship solutions that matter. As a startup, we move fast and make pragmatic decisions. You'll need to balance speed with quality, navigate ambiguity, and be comfortable with the fact that your role will evolve as our customer base grows.

What You'll Do

• Partner with our Head of Engineering to design architecture and implement the most challenging parts of our system
• Take full ownership of projects from conception to delivery - you'll drive initiatives forward without waiting to be told what to do
• Collaborate with Product Managers to define new projects, plan work, and advise on technical feasibility
• Work across teams - whether that's Sales, Customer Success, or Carbon Team - to understand needs and deliver solutions that work in the real world
• Mentor engineers and help level up the team through code review, technical discussions, and setting engineering standards
• Be comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities - startup life means adapting quickly while keeping the big picture in mind

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years delivering complex software systems and getting large scale user adoption
• Deep expertise in modern web applications and distributed systems
• Strong collaboration skills - you work closely with Product to ideate features, advise on trade-offs, and iterate on what we've built
• Experience with Python and TypeScript (we value versatility and broad knowledge over memorizing PEPs)
• Proven ability to design and implement cloud-based system architectures
• Knowledge of IaC/Terraform and modern CI/CD practices
• Bonus: experience with data-intensive systems
• Bonus: experience building SaaS and enterprise applications
